Learn & Explore Tip of the Day

Scrapbooking is a fun way to remember special events. There are various digital scrapbooking options in addition to traditional scrapbooking; but it all comes down to creating a special memory out of your photographs, complete with captions and descriptions of your experiences.

When composing a sports picture, leave some room for the action. For instance, if a runner is going left to right, leave more room on the right side of the frame for him/her to run into. This will make a big difference on the impact of the image.

Try using a preset or custom white balance in a stadium or indoor arena. Because light often is different at indoor venues, the best way to get optimal color is to create a unique white balance, which is what the preset does. Cameras vary in how to accomplish that so check your manual.

A panorama can help you capture the breadth of a great vista. With a COOLPIX camera, try the panorama scene mode or panorama assist mode. Check your camera’s manual to see which mode your specific camera has. This will help you with overlap as you shoot your sequence of images.

Don’t let telephone poles or trees sprout out of your subject’s head. Check the background carefully. Look over your subject’s shoulder to see whether any poles, trees or even cars are in the background. Sometimes simply moving a step to the left or right a few feet can make your picture much better.

Did you know that the Nikon 1 line of cameras bodies can use many of your f/mount DSLR lenses? Using the FT-1 Mount Adapter, you can use many of your legacy lenses on a Nikon 1. This is great if you have a favorite macro lens or super telephoto.

Photographing cats or dogs with a flash can cause green/yellow eyes, which are similar to the red-eye seen in humans. To avoid this, use some of the same techniques you use to avoid red-eye, such as bouncing a Speedlight or increasing the light in the room you’re shooting in.

Always bring out your camera when family or friends gather together. Even if it is not a big holiday celebration. You never know when the kids will do something cute that you’ll want to capture and if you’re busy searching for the camera you may miss the moment.

A great way to remember your trips or special events is by making a photo book. There are many websites that allow you to upload your images and easily design a photo book, complete with captions, as well as photo labs, and at the photo department of larger stores. It's a fun way to share your photographic experiences with friends.

If you’re going out with the intention of photographing a specific type of animal, do a little quick research before you head out. Knowing their habits can give you an edge when it comes to getting great photographs.

If you’re using a GPS-enabled COOLPIX digital camera and are on vacation and not sure where to go next, check out the POI (Points of Interest) feature which will let you know of landmarks that are nearby to your location.

To get the starburst effect you often see in photos, use the smallest aperture possible on your camera (this is usually f/16 or f/22) and shoot towards the sun. Shooting towards the sun will cause you to see flare in an image sometimes but this can add interest to your image. Shoot a bunch of frames—capturing the starburst with and without flare.

If you’re taking really important photos that you won’t be able to recreate, bracket your exposures to ensure the photos look great. Most Nikon digital cameras have an exposure-bracketing mode that you can set. It is faster if you let the camera do the bracketing, instead of you having to snap a photo, change the exposure, snap another frame, change it again, and snap a new frame.

When shooting video of an event, add interviews for a unique viewpoint. Shooting a birthday party—talk to the birthday boy or girl; shooting your kids sport—interview them or the coach—at a wedding—ask the bride and groom to comment.

When shooting food, simple compositions are always better. Zoom into the dish so you don’t capture the table, or zoom tighter so you don’t even see the plate. If you’re taking a shot of your meal at a restaurant, move some of the cutlery or glassware out of the frame for a better shot. It will only take you a moment to do so.

Protect your DSLR lenses. Get a good UV, Skylight or Neutral Clear filter for the front of every lens. This will help protect the expensive front piece of glass in your lens. When you get in dirty or rainy conditions, you'll be wiping the filter clear instead of risking the front element.

When shooting a portrait of a person, even if it's a quick shot, don’t place them against a wall, even if they place themselves there. Its natural for people to back up against a wall for a picture, but that usually isn’t the most flattering way to shoot a portrait. Unless you specifically want to shoot right against a wall for creative reasons, politely ask them to take a few steps forward or follow you to where you want to place them in a scene.

When shooting in bright sand or snow, experiment with the exposure compensation settings (the +/- button) on your camera. Set it for +1 to make the image brighter, which often will make sand or snow look better.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Excellent output and trouble-free
This camera is one of the most dependable that I've ever owned. Pictures are fantastic for its size and components -well focussed, excellent contrasts even in low light. Motion pictures are unbelievably good for this sized equipment, plus it is small, light and easy to carry everywhere!

great camera works great despite my abuse of it
I loved my S8000 I am hard on a camera and it still took awesome photos in spite of me. I lost it last week much to my dismay it fell out of my pocket when hiking.
minor issues - I had repeatedly dropped it so the case has a crack on the bottom corner
The on/off button is glitchy as it doesn't want to turn on
The battery only wants to charge externally - this is a new issue fixed with a charger.
I have a large scratch across the front lens but it doesn't show up on the photos.
despite my issues it still took awesome photos and I could zoom in on wild animals and birds and snap a good photo. I would recommend this camera to anyone..

Great inexpensive Camera
Has been a good Camera, Sometimes difficult picking the right setting for low and high light pics
March 2, 2013

great pics, lousy camera
While it takes good pics, i am sending it in to get it repaired again. The on/off switch doesn't want to work.

Dropped!
I have had this camera for more than a year now. It has traveled with me everywhere. Takes amazing pictures no matter what. I had the camera on my lap while driving a minivan. I stood up not remembering that it was there. It fell directly on asphalt, and in my haste I was out of the van before it hit the ground steping directly on the camera. I press the power button to see what damage I had done. All functions work perfectly! Nikon makes quality equipment.

I have taken pictures with my camera and when I go to download/transfer them to the computer i can see some of the thumbnails but they will not open up or they open up all "distorted and unclear" I think I have a “bad” memory card but my question is “Are my pictures gone? And will I not be able to retrieve them off my memory card? “

My Coolpix S8000 camera has been dead for about a month. When I hook it up to the computer to charge, the green light flashes for a few minutes and then goes off. However, the on/off button stays lit up. My computer recognizes the camera and I am able to download the pictures on it. The camera has been plugged into the computer for about four hours, but once unmounted from the computer, still will not turn on. Does this mean I need a new battery?
